Ok, so this is what I've done....
Retrieving the list of computers...
code:
$infile="c:\machines.txt" ; <-- contains your machine names, one per line
    ; read the input file for the computer(s) to be queried
    If Open(3, "$infile") = 0
       $computerlist = Ucase(Trim(ReadLine(3)))
       While @error = 0      
          For Each $computer in $computerlist  
          	Gosub main ;do stuff
          Next
          $computer = Ucase(Trim(ReadLine(3)))
       Loop
       If Close (3) = 0
       EndIf
    EndIf
but it doesn't seem to reach out to the two machines in my test list. Instead the script still runs locally and I end up with an inventory of my PC.
if you want to look at the rest of the code look here.... My Code
I'm just not getting it.
